Production Blog- Its Coming Together

 Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog! Today's blog is going to be all about how the past weekend went on production. So, I'm going to start off with the "bad" news and then the good, this past week has brought me nothing but rain and fog. No progress has been able to be made in the filming of the first clip in the storyboard due to the weather. That's a little unfortunate however, other progress has been made. I filmed the clip I wanted of myself climbing and it went very  well, it only took me a few attempts with a tripod to capture the jump I was doing on the climbing wall. For this clip though I had a wardrobe change, I went with a white tank-top and grey shorts instead of the previous plan due to how hot it was in the gym and I didn't want to take the risk of overheating while filming. I also tweaked the theme for the commercial a tiny bit. The commercial will now be both an outdoorsy vibe along with a vintage film look. I chose this because these two things just work super well together and it just looks more cinematic. In the editing phase I did exactly what I said I would and I added a nice transition from landscape to portrait in the commercial. I am really happy with how it turned out it flows every nicely and it's easy on the eyes. For the transition all I did was add a film burn effect over the switch from landscape to portrait and it works very nicely. This coming week is expected to be sunny and clear in the sky so I am going to take this opportunity to film the establishing shot while I can. I decided that I want my commercial to be around 45 seconds of runtime, I don't want it too long but I cant shorten it without removing important parts of videos I included. Next time I am going to spend most of my time adding the finishing touches to the commercial while I edit. But before I get to that I made sure to start my title card and my credits. My credits are simple, I credited the artist who's music I used and myself for the production. The text is a simple handwritten font to match the theme and the text is also italicized to seem fancier than it really is. Along with that I have started the color grading process so I can achieve the final look I am searching for. But that's all I had time for this weekend, and for this recap. Thank you all for reading! 

It was a pleasure, goodbye.

Final Task- Peer Review

  Hello Everyone! Welcome back to todays blog! Todays topic is going to be focused mainly about a peer review of the Final Task recently finished. The following text will be takes from a friend of mine who gave his time to watch and critically review my Final Task. " The sequence, while gripping and atmospheric, also presented several areas for improvement.  Firstly, the use of eerie music and sound effects effectively set the proper mood and created a sense of suspense right from the start. The choice of soundtrack greatly enhanced the anticipation, making it a standout element that should definitely be kept.  However, the pacing of the title sequence seemed a bit rushed. Slowing down the transitions between scenes and allowing certain shots to linger could amplify the immersion and build a stronger connection with the audience.  Visually, the use of lighting and shadows was commendable. The interplay of light and dark added depth to the scenes and added to the over...

Production Blog- First Successes

 Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Todays topic is about the first few sessions of filming for the music video. The Florida weather finally cleared up and was sunny for the first time in a while. I took this opportunity of good weather to start the filming process for a few scenes. The scenes I wanted to get finished up where the, forest  scene, the beach scene and the open field  scene. I planned to film these three scenes throughout the course of two days. For the beach scene I needed to catch the sunrise to make the scene more pleasing to the eyes. So I needed to be up at at the beach at around 7:00 in the morning to film. I spent the first day filming on the beach and got all the clips I needed for the scene. All I brought with me was a tripod and the costume I chose for the film session. I chose a red tank top and a blue pair of bathing trunks so that it would be safe to in the water since they are light clothes. I spent the second day filming the field sc...
